Dear Clyde W. Needham Families!

Please join us Thursday night for our Back to School Night! Click HERE for more information!

It is important that we have the updated safety information and account authorizations for each of our Clyde W. Needham students. You are able to easily provide this information to us by completing the Online Data Confirmation (ODC) process with the Parent Portal in AERIES. So far 75% of our students have their ODC completed. Please help us get to 100% by completing it for your child AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

REMEMBER:

• Every child that has completed ODC will be invited to a Friday afternoon Otter Pop Dance Party!!! (Kinder & TK will have theirs after lunch on Mondays)
• EVERY CLASS that has 100% of their students complete ODC will receive a PIZZA PARTY!!
• Completing ODC helps generate funds for us to use here at Needham to support students!

Sending all of our Needham Knights Peace and Blessings!

All of our families MUST complete Online Data Confirmation (ODC) in AERIES for EVERY STUDENT that attends Lodi Unified School District.

When a family completes ODC for a student they:

• update emergency contact information
• approve authorizations for the 24-25
• Support your student's home school!
• See the name of the teacher(s) that your student will be assigned to for 24-25

Please complete Online Data Confirmation (ODC) for your student THIS WEEK or AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

For additional information and some 'How-To' help, please visit CW Needham's ODC page

• Please drive into the parking lot to pick up or drop off your child whenever possible

• Please DO NOT cross the street on Pleasant Avenue in front of the school buildings or in front of the parking lot

• Please DO NOT MAKE A U-Turn on Pleasant Avenue. For the safety of our students we request that you leave the area that you parked in the same direction that your car is facing when you parked.

• Parents who walk up must wait in the designated area.

• Students and parents that walk up to the parking lot from the south (Tokay St.) should enter the parking lot near the field and follow the sidewalk around the parking lot. This will keep students and adults from crossing traffic as it exits and enters the parking lot.

• Students will not be allowed to exit the parking lot without a parent or guardian present unless they are walking home
